2009 Losanjealous Reader Picks: Favorite Coffee

Here we go. A few of our own coffee picks to get this one started. We’ll keep adding to the list. Feel free to stick your own favorites in comments below and we’ll add them to the poll so you can vote the shit out of them. –Ed.

Equator = Barf in my mouth!
Profetta = Room for improvement.
Luxxe = I’ve had much, much better in Seattle. They claim thats where they get it from.
Conservatory = Amateurs. You can tell they’re new at it but, good people.
LAmill = pretty place, good food, poor coffee service.
Koffeea = ugh, generic at best.
Urth Cafe = again, good food but, no real good focus on the coffee.
Peets = Does not even belong on this poll.

There’s a new player in west side farmer’s markets: “Alana’s Coffee Roasting”. This guy does amazing micro-batch roasting and sells for cheap. I know he’s at 18th St/La Cienega and Culver City… maybe others?

Tried a few new guys this year and can still authoritatively and safely say that nobody in town beats the King’s Road house cup, followed closely by Cafe Tropical’s Espresso Con Leche. Chango also still gets a vote just for offering good food and a pleasant vibe. Nice photo of Philippe, though – that gets at least one vote from me based on price, now that you mention it. Somebody’ll probably throw Leche in HP on that list as well.
